People want all decisions made by characters to be perfectly logical but conflict can't be created like that. We barely make truly logical decisions in our own lives but want that from fictional characters

Seeing the average person's reaction to animation prices explains a lot about why the industry's been struggling. Disinterested parties (including animation producers) think that if 1 second of movement costs $300, then 10 minutes must cost $150,000.
Next time you see a 2D show, look closely. Most shows are only moving for a fraction of the runtime. We have people who don't know anything about directing and budgeting an animation taking control of productions, and being shocked when they learn how much it costs. They don't dig any any deeper to learn the countless ways people have been doing this medium affordably for decades, and they don't want to know

Watched a great video on Evangelion that shows how placing 1 second of animation at the start and end of each shot goes a long way. Even when 1 second costs hundreds of dollars, you can still make a great looking show affordably

Wildwood is one of the biggest examples of why I’m begging folks who make media for younger audiences to stop holding back on kids. Took my younger cousin (11) with me to see the film and he was extremely engaged, quietly commenting and theorizing throughout the film.
‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.
“Big studios like Disney and Paramount want to sanitize stories, effectively training children not to think about sadness or fear. Wildwood is for kids to be inspired by how they feel when they see a great movie.”

Travis Knight says there are multiple upcoming projects in development for LAIKA:
“We have stories that take the medium of animation into places that it's never gone before, stories that challenge us in different ways. And I'm excited that we're playing around in some genres that we've never explored before.”

Procrastination tip that helps me
While working on whatever you're working on. Set a stopwatch. Every time you procrastinate, pause the timer.
You cannot stop working until the timer says 8 hours.
Of course if you have school or job, make it 4 hours, etc.

If you're not hiring animators, what reason could you have to get angry at an animator's prices besides bitterness

“I don’t want politics in video games”
Fallout.
Dying Light.
Bioshock.
Metal Gear Solid.
Assassins Creed
All of these games are highly political, it isn’t that you don’t want politics in video games, it’s that you want the politics to suit you and only you.

Being in a fandom where drama is frequent but you aren't 15 anymore so you don't care
